How to tackle CSRD – a Corporate Governance Podcast

How to tackle CSRD: the latest edition of the corporate governance podcast explores a crucial new regulation in the European Union and what you can do to comply. It’s a must for your ESG education.

Join your host, Dan Byrne, and Mark Kane, CEO and founder of sustainabilIT, a firm dedicated to maximising the use of technology to achieve sustainability goals. 

The two discuss CSRD or the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. This new piece of EU legislation is putting increased pressure on thousands of companies to be more transparent in their sustainability reporting. 

Basically, the rules have gotten tougher, and their reach has grown wider. Your company doesn’t even need to be headquartered in the European Union for the rules to apply to you; as long as you reach a certain turnover threshold inside the bloc, you’ll also need to comply. 

But it doesn’t have to be all about fear. CSRD is manageable with the right outlook, technology and skillsets. 

Dan and Mark will tell you more.

Mark Kane is the CEO of SustainabilIT and the originator of the Sustainable Digital Transformation concept, with which he won the ICMG/Zachman global award for Digital Strategy to Execution in 2019 for the programme he implemented as Global Head of IT at a renewable energy major.  

Leveraging 30 years of expertise in technology and project/portfolio management with 15 years in sustainability, he established Sustainabil-IT, a consultancy focused on accelerating sustainability through technology.  Mark is also a Faculty Member at the Institute of Sustainability Studies and is currently co-authoring Digital-Led Sustainability together with award-winning author of “Digital Made Simple” David Galea.

The modern director understands that boardroom responsibilities have dramatically increased, and old norms are being challenged by new ideals around sustainable business that respect all stakeholders – not just shareholders. 

Because of this, corporate governance education is an invaluable addition to a director’s skillset—something that will help you stand out amongst your colleagues.
